similar to: Btmp and Wmtp log rotate

I have a problem in that at first all my log files were dated 12-31-1969 and logrotate has: # more /var/lib/logrotate.status logrotate state -- version 2 "/var/log/yum.log" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/named/data/named.run" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/log/httpd/error_log" 2015-8-27-4:43:1 "/var/log/wtmp" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/log/chrony/*.log"

Anyone having problems with logrotate and CentOS 5.4? Although I have /etc/logrotate.d/mail (contents below) to rotate my maillog file, it fails to do it automatically: /var/log/maillog { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 60 size=+1024k missingok postrotate /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart endscript } ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ logrotate.conf:

That doesn?t seem to work either. Where do I find logs for log rotation to see the reason it failed?

a while back i reported an issue where /dev/null was getting set to 600 perms after a system update. i finally figured out what it is. i don't care about failed logins and have limited space on some servers, so i symlinked /var/log/btmp to /dev/null. the initscripts package does a chmod 600 /var/log/btmp, so voila /dev/null gets changed. so now i know why it happened just to me. i now

I had a system date problem when logrotate ran for the first time such that /var/lib/logrotate.status has: logrotate state -- version 2 "/var/log/yum.log" 1970-1-1-0:0:0 "/var/log/wtmp" 1970-1-1-0:0:0 "/var/log/chrony/*.log" 1970-1-1-0:0:0 "/var/log/spooler" 1970-1-1-0:0:0 "/var/log/btmp" 1970-1-1-0:0:0 "/var/log/maillog" 1970-1-1-0:0:0

So, the question is, why can I rotate the log manually, but cron returns a permission error? Do I need to tell cron to run it as sudo or something like that?

centos6 in regards to /etc/logrotate.d/syslog the file is in charge of processing /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler If I wanted to make a specific setting just for maillog (since that file gets huge really quick) would I add 1- a new file /etc/logrotate.d/maillog with the parameters just like the other files 2- add parameters in the file it is

Hello, I've got a Centos 5.4 box that is not rotating it's mail logs. I just found out about this, the file is considerably large. I've included my log rotation configs if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to them. Thanks. Dave. /etc/rsyslog.conf: # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.*

Ever since a recent power failure I have been getting a Logrotate error. My machine is on a UPS -- it shutdown cleanly, but I suspect that its BIOS/RTC battery is dead, since the machine came up thinking it was 1982 :-(. I reset the clock and everything is fine, *except* I had to delete Logrotate's state files (which had bad dates). But now Logrotate is raising the error: error: error

I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions: 1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable? Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn?t be located in

Remove the logfiles configured by /etc/logrotate.d/*. Omit the logfile of "samba" and "sssd" which we removed them separately .

Hi, Openssh doesn't log failed logins to /var/log/btmp like login does (if btmp exists). This is on RH6.2. Is there a specific reason for not logging to btmp ? I think that logging to btmp would be a 'good thing'(tm). What about other unices ? Do they have /var/log/btmp or something similar (AIX has something like that and I think openssh already logs the failed attempts). AFAIK

Hi, Last year, I installed Asterisk 10.4.2 and enabled logrotate on daily basis which was working perfect. Now in couple of months back, the logrotate feature is not working at all but simply appending the logs in 'messages' file. Listing down down the configuration for logrotate below; /var/log/asterisk/messages { missingok rotate 5 daily postrotate /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger

HI, Do you have selinux activated? Maybe the context for logrotate does not allow accessing files under /home, and the root cli is not troubled by such a limitation? Why are you storing log files under /home anyway? Note: I don't use any OS with selinux, so can't really help with fixing this an issue.

Hi, Your crontab should normally mail you error output. But you can also run the logrotate command manually, in verbose mode.

I believe you need a 'create' statement to set the permissions. Here is an example for mariadb: /var/log/mariadb/general.log /var/log/mariadb/slow_query.log /var/log/mariadb/error.log /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log { ??????? create 640 mysql mysql ??????? daily ??????? minsize 30M ??????? notifempty ??????? rotate 3 ??????? missingok ??????? compress ??????? sharedscripts ???????

For several years, I have been using Splus to analyze an ongoing series of datasets that have a bimodal distribution. I have used the following functions, in particular the ms() function, to estimate the parameters: two means, two standard deviations, and one proportion. Here is the code I've been using in S: btmp.bi <- function(vec, p, m1, m2, sd1, sd2) {
